Location Quotients
The location quotient (LQ) measures the concentration of a particular occupation within a state’s labor force, relative to that occupation’s concentration in the U.S. labor force. For example, an LQ of 1.2 indicates that the occupation clusters in a state at a level 20 percent greater than within the nation’s workforce at large. An LQ of 0.8 indicates that the occupation clusters in a state at a level 20 percent below the occupation’s concentration in the U.S. labor force.
Note: “*” means not disclosed.
